The modern manager
needs to develop leadership skills.
Leaders create an inspirational vision to gain the commitment of staff
to achieve goals. There is a difference
between managers and leaders. Managers
implement policy. Leaders create and
communicate policy and lead people.Managers need to
delegate to free themselves up to concentrate on the critical tasks of

Different things motivate different people. The power of expectation is
a good motivator as staff like to live up to their manager’s expectations.
